Gastric tonometry in patients with sepsis. Effects of dobutamine infusions and packed red blood cell transfusions.
We wanted to determine the efficacy of dobutamine infusions and Prbc transfusions on splanchnic tissue oxygen utilization by measuring gastric pHi. Physiologic parameters and pHi measurements via the use of a gastric tonometer were obtained in 21 septic patients before and after the administration of a dobutamine infusion (5 micrograms/kg/min) or the transfusion of two units of Prbc. Subsets of...
متن کاملFactors associated with packed red blood cell transfusions in premature infants in an intensive care unit.
OBJECTIVE This study analyzed the factors that are associated with the need for packed red blood cell transfusions in premature infants in a neonatal intensive care unit. METHODS This study is a cross-sectional study of secondary data from premature infants who were admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit between 2008 and 2010. Premature infants with low birth weight were included. Packed ...
متن کاملCosts of outpatient red blood cell transfusions.
W ith the goals of improving oxygen delivery,1 reducing anemia, and enhancing quality of life, over 12 million red blood cell (RBC) units are transfused annually in the United States.2 At a hospital acquisition cost per RBC unit of $122 (1999 dollars),2 US acquisition costs exceed $1.5 billion annually. Adding testing and transfusion, the total health system cost for two units (based on prior s...
متن کاملRed blood cell transfusions in acute paediatrics.
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions should usually be given only to restore or maintain oxygen delivery to vital organs and tissues. Medical history has clearly documented the importance of blood transfusion in saving lives threatened by acute haemorrhage or severe anaemia. The availability of blood products has facilitated many surgical and medical advances, allowing the support of patients who ...
متن کاملRed-blood-cell alloimmunization and number of red-blood-cell transfusions.
BACKGROUND Patients receiving red-blood-cells may form antibodies against the alloantigens expressed by red-blood-cells, with the risk of serious morbidity and the need for extensive phenotype-matching in subsequent transfusions. The incidence of alloimmunization is considered variable for specific patient groups and for first time antibody formation. We therefore studied the cumulative inciden...
